The D,css,mone,.,s Art,

If a woman has the proper height and
has learned to carry herself erect, the
dressmaker's art will do the rest.
Dressmakers have learned to be as ex-
pert in remedying the deficiencies in
nature as have dentists and c%oiffeurs.
Beauty is sought after in every way,
and the care of the skin, complexion,
teeth, nails, and hair has become a duty
demanded by the spirit of the age.
Competent people L to be found in
every large city who teach the secret
Of beauty, from the manicure who shows
one how to polish and properly trim
the nails to the dentist who cares for
the teeth. Even the staid old family
practitioner is pressed into service and
importuned for recipes for all sorts of
things-how to make the hair grow or
stop its falling out, how to render the
complexion clear, etc. - Baltimo ore
Times.

SLEEPLESSyESS.

Numberless remedies have been sug-
gested for sleeplessness, but WI do not
know that we have much faith in them.
We are told that the bedroom of the
sleepless patient should be perfectly
dark, and that his bed covering should
be light as we'll as warm. Pain anxiety,
annoyance, should be got rid of, if
possible; but probably none of these,
people to lie awake very much. If a
man is kept awake by his conscience, or
his love affairs, or anxiety, OF toothache,
or a cough, why, he knows the worst of
it, there is no mystery about the dis
turbance. But if he lies awake without
being in love, or in debt, or worried
with thoughts of any description, then
he is really to he pitied, and knows not
what to make of it. The advice is given
that the patient shall close his eyes in
a persistent way, then let the minds
eye rest upon some quiet place, and not
open the eyelids again until sleep has
been obtained. But we fear this simple
device will not cure o bad case of in
somnia. All the lodges mentioned by
Wordsworth in his delightful sonnet,
all the counting of imaginary sleep, and
watching of viewless r%aindrops, are vain
as the dying falls Of distant music, and
the running streams that could not lull
the sleeping brain of Mecenas. Words
worth himself, we believe, admits that
his remedies were failures. Other de-
vices are practiced by other men. Some
smoke q cigarette, some take q glass of
milk, some read q book, which is apt to
produce fatigue and irritability. Some
go out and walk the streets, like Charles
Dickens. Some take q cold bath.
Some eat bread and drink whatever
they find best suited to their complaint.
Occasionally M OF other of these
remedies produces the desired effect,
and the sufferer slips within the gate of
dreams. Yet, as q rule, there is only
n remedy-patience. It is of no
avail to lose ones temper with sleep;
the shy goddess is by n means to be
won with violence. He who once begins
to toss and kick, and generally agitate
himself, is as far as possible from
slumber. II he is to get repose he
must begin, as the young lady in
Clough's poem says about the attention
of her rustic wooer, by making up
his mind not to mind it," Then, when
a man is patient, the god of the leaden
wand may draw near, or, as the chill
dren say, the sandman may scatter
sand in cur eyes.

4 Wife's North.

The money value of a wife's services
above the food. clothing, and medicine
to which she is legally entitled from
her husband has just had q curious
Illustration in Rhode Island. During
the civil war William r. Cripps, of
Newport, married Mrs. Elizabeth H.
Thurston, whose husband was supposed
to have been killed while serving in q
Rhode Island regiment. But after the
lapse Of years the first husband reap
peared, and upon learning the state of
things, married another woman. Cripps,
q few months ago, turned his wife out
of doors, refused to support her, and
applied for a divorce, which the judge
granted, as the marriage was illegal.
The woman was destitute. A lawyer,
J. P. Calvin, took her case in hand, and
brought suit against Cripps for services
rendered by his supposed wife as his
housekeeper, and secured judgment in
the sum Of So, 900.

c,c,,rsr .,oUnyAl,sr IN AMERICA.

RICHEST JOURNALIST IN AMERICA
The richest newspaper proprietor in
Baltimore, aud probably the richest in
the United States, is A. S. Abell' o
native of Providence, r. l., who is still
vigorous at so and estimated to be
worth from s12, O00, 900 to Sl5,Oo0,Ooo
He began life as a practical printer,
worked several years at the case in
Boston, then came here, where he met
with two other printers, A. Fl. Sim
mons and W. NJ. Swain. The three
became friends and determined to try
a cheap newspaper enterprise in Phila-
delphia. The result was that the
Public Ledger, a 1-cent issue, which,
after twenty-eight years, was sold to
George w. Childs. Having established
the Ledger they repeated their ex.
pertinent in Baltimore with the Sun,
Abel taking special charge of it, as
Swain had of the Ledger. It's early
failure was predicted, of course, and it
had a severe experience at first. 1t
might have become extinct ut one time,
30 the story goes, if a young woman, a
friend of Abel, had not lent him q
sum of money to carry it on. The re-
turn he made to her was to take her
for a wife and get a regular dividend in
happiness, Simmons has been dead
thirty-one years and Swain nineteen
years, but Abel threatens to be q
centenarian ct least. The San was ex-
tremely enterprising in the old days.
Before the telegraph it ran a pony ex-
press to Boston and had a carrier
pigeon route to Washington, Phila-
delphia, and this city. During the
Mexican war it established q special
post service of fast horses between New
Orleans and Baltimore, and got the
news of the fall of Vera Cruz before it
reached the President and his Cabinet.
It received the first Presidential mes
sage aver sent by telegraph, and put
up the first iron building in this
country. The San, though still a good
newspaper and very profitable, has
long ceased to be q leader in journalism.
1t will be a half century old next year,
and will celebrate the occasion. Abel
began with nothing, and he clearly re-
members when he thought himself
fortunate to earn $12 a week setting
type. His estate, Guilford. hear Balti-
more. for which he originally paid
$500, 900, and ON which he has spent
more than 81, 00O,O 900 since, is one OF
the finest estates in Maryland. It is a
great pet with him, being secondary to
the Sun alone. He has lived so long,
seen SO much of public men and meas
ures, and has witnessed so wonderful
changes that he is extremely interest
ing to talk with. -New York Com
mercial Advertiser.

FE1'CHER'5 LUCK.

The story of Fetcher's diamond pin
in "From Mozart to Mario" is worth
quoting, though to the skeptical mind
there is an apocryphal ring about it:
wearing a large paste pin, he had
gone down heal the East river, where
at that time number of roughs were
always ready to cut your throat for
so cents if they thought they were
likely to find anything worth taking on
you. This pin, a theatrical diamond
of excellent French imitation, attracted
q thief's attention and he stopped
fletcher and roughly asked the time,
with the evident intention of seeing
whether he could lay hold of a watch.
fletcher said he did not know, and
ordered him to go on his way, where
upon the nigger-a tall. powerful man
laid hold of him; but fletcher, we'll
versed in the jeu dc la savate, got the
nan under in no time, when, to the
rather unpleasant surprise of Fletcher, q
big clasp-knife appeared on the scene,
and he thought discretion the better
part of valor.
"'Listen to me, my man, he said;
what is the use of your shedding blood
and getting q hemp cravat? I have no
money and no valuables; what do you
want?'
"'Your pin, said the man, and I'll
have it if I swing for it,
"'You SHALL said fletcher, sonly I
don't care to go home with my scarf
open, as if I were drunk. Ii yo,,
let me have any other pin you may
have mine without a struggle
agreed said the niger, and he
took out a rather tasteful turquoise and
cameo pin, and put Fetcher's diamond
CD into his neck-tie.
Ileave the reader to Judge what his
feelings must have been when next day
he came to ascertain the value of his
honestly acquired solitaire, for which
he had given a pin worth at least ten
times the price Of the stone for which
he narrowly escaped being a murderer.

Cynical and Comicat Rema,L: AOomt Ecmi
ain P~ecMyiarities.

The funny man and the cynical
writer can always find something witty
and sharp to say about women collect
lively; in other words, he always shoots
forth his sallies at long range. Here
are a few of their generalizations:
Bidu. II Of the reputed seven sages,
said: whether women be handsome or
not does not signify. If they are ugly,
they turn ones stomach; if they are
lovely, they turn ones head"
Montague said he would not be a
woman, for then he could not love her.
And Lady Montagu remarked that the
only objection she had to be a mar was
that she would then have to marry a
woman.
A modern wit defines the difference
between men and women: "a man gives
40 cents for a 25-cent thing he wants,
and q woman gives 25 cents for a 40
cent thing she does not want"
On the subject of courtship and mar
riage we can report some interesting
sayings. A German writer says a
young girl is a fishing rod, the eyes be.
ing the hook, the smile the bait, the
lover the gudgeon, the marriage the
butter in which he is fried. There are
really two eventful periods in the life
OF a woman: one, when she wonders
whom she will have the other, when she
wonders who will have her. A cynical
sailor has given his reasons why a shir
is always called "she." It is because
the ship" are useless without employ.
ment, they bring news from abroad,
they wear caps and bonnets, they are
often painted: and a man never knows
the expense until he gets one. And
during the wal Artemus Ward oh
served: "None but the brave deserve
the fair, and none but the brave car
live with some of them"
Here is a purely %ironical description
OF the sex: "A woman a is mighty hand,
thing to have about the house. Sh,
doesn't cost more to keep than you'll
give her, and she'll take an interest i,
you. If you go out at night, she'll b,
awake when you get home, and the,
she'll tell you all about yourself ant
! more. too"
